Has anyone reused the trans oil cooler as a second engine oil cooler when doing the swap?

Thanks!!! Do you happen to also know if the stock 3.9 auto rear end will mount correctly with the manual driveshaft? I'm thinking it would reading through the swap threads, but nothing that out right said it.

You would need to change the companion flange to a 5 speed flange.

Did mine for under 500 bucks (excluding clutch, it had a used one but I upgraded). Luckily I found a guy clearing out his garage

lucky indeed! I got everything under an rx7 hood pretty much. I was thinking about putting the spare motor in my miata or rx8 but leaning towards the miata.

If you search I posted how to use the Auto harness and all you have to do is jumper to pins on the large connector for the auto transmission(starter interlock). It takes less than 2 minutes to complete all the "wiring" this way. You will still need to wire in reverse lights and a clutch switch if you want them.
